• Do not tow or push the roller up or down steep ditches or hillsides. Be extremely cautious around steep

grades.

• Do not operate lawn roller on slopes greater than 10-12 degrees.

• With increased towing weight, your stopping distance increases also.

• Do not fill roller to maximum weight without checking capability of vehicle to safely pull and stop.

Assembly Instructions

Tools Required For Assembly

(1) Pair of Pliers

(2) 9/16” Wrenches

(2) 3/4” Wrenches

Optional Tools

(1) Utility Knife

(1) Hammer

Remove from Carton

Remove all parts and hardware packages from the

carton. Lay out all parts and hardware and identify

them using the illustrations on pages 2 and 3.

1. Inspect axle ends. If there is excessive plastic,

trim with knife using extreme caution.

2. Place a 5/8” Flat Washer over axle on Roller

Body on both ends. See Figure 1.

3. Place one end of the Center Brace over one side

of the axle then the opposite end. See Figure 1.

NOTE: You my have to pull (spread out) one

end of the Center Brace to get it to go over the

axle. See Figure 2.

4. Place one 5/8” Flat Washer on the outside of

Center Brace on both ends.

5. Insert a 3/16” Cotter Pin into the hole of the

axle NOTE: It maybe necessary to use a

hammer to get the Cotter Pin into place. Then,

spread the legs of the pin to secure into place.

Repeat this procedure for the other side of the

axle. See Figure 1.

6. Attach the Hitch Side Bars to the Center Brace,

using 3/8” x 1” Hex Head Bolts and 3/8” NyLock

Nuts. See Figure 3.

7. Insert the 3/8” x 3/8” Spacer between the two

Hitch Side Bars. The Spacer needs to be

attached to the second hole back from the front

of the Hitch Side Bars. Secure the Spacer in

place by inserting a 3/8” x 1-1/2” Hex Head Bolt

through one Hitch Side Bar then the 3/8” x 3/8”

Spacer and the other Hitch Side Bar. Thread a

3/8” NyLock Nut onto the ends. NOTE: Do not

tighten this bolt and nut yet. See Figure 3

8. Attach the two Clevis Plates to the end of the

Hitch Side Bar using 3/8” x 2-1/4” Hex Head

Bolts for the Clevis Plates. “Straddle” (one bolt

on each side) of the front 3/8” x 1-1/2” Hex

Head Bolt on the end of the Hitch Side Bar. This

keeps the Clevis Plate assembly from slipping off

the Hitch Side Bars when the unit is in use. See

Figure 4.

9. Now tighten the four 3/8” x 1-1/2” and the 3/8”

x 2 - 1/4” and 3/8” Nylock Nuts. See Figure 4.

Operation

• Fill the Roller with amount of water or sand for

the weight recommended for your towing equip-

ment.

• Be sure to check owner’s manual of towing equip-

ment to make sure that its towing capacity is not

exceeded.

• For longest life, drain the Roller and leave the Plug

out when not in use.

• Sand may be used in place of water to avoid risk of

freezing.

Maintenance Instructions

• Always check all the hardware before use. Make sure

all hardware and components are tight and secure.

• Always keep moving parts lubricated. Lubricate

where the Axle extends through the Hitch Side Bar

when needed with light oil.

• Keeping the roller clean and dry will prolong the

unit’s life.

• Should rust develop, sand lightly and then paint area

with enamel paint.
